Summary: You'll not be aware of the real world around you
Review: I really like this book; it differs from most of the high-tech books in various ways, eg. the content is written almost like fiction, yet it comprises all technical aspects within security, ranging from security issues in networking cables till very OS specific matters. Both the Unix and Windows OS are comprenensively stressed.If you are interested in security in general, this is really the book
for you. The author has gathered various information from
some of the best indepth security books available and
presented the content in a very delight fashion.

Summary: Excellent - could of used this for the Security+ Exam!
Review: Network Security is fast becoming a technical position that is hard to fill. With all of the things happening in the computer industry, internet and even in the world we need to be able to protect our networks and data from outside intruders, this book is a great start to making your network a more secure place. Having just taken the Security+ beta and beginning to study for Microsoft's new 70-214 Windows 2000 Security exam, this book has provided an unbelievable amount of information. Over 950 pages packed with tips, tricks, ideas and methods for securing the network, the operating system and even the network infrastructure. Tackling Windows 2000 and XP professional, Linux, Netware and Samba and then over 160 pages on firewalls including setup and configuration make this as complete a manual as I have come across so far. Like I said this book works for several security exams and there is even 240 pages for the Cisco CSS1 exam. So if you thinking of working with network security or are currently employed in a position like that, you would be making a great choice with this book. Priced to fit any budget, this book is a great reference manual to have around. Sybex is a leader in certification and technical manuals.
